I've come across adverts in various magazines that were all about another product, but had a well-placed nineT for the visual effect/vibe/appeal.
So this thread is to feature those advertisements.
Print or video is fine, but the nineT doesn't get the feature role here. 🤩

Not an advertisement, but the bike definitely stood out for me in Mission Impossible:
It stood out for me because they used the wrong bloody engine sound for pretty much the entire scene it was featured in!

well . . . why not ?

Error buddy, There’s a huge plug for BMW and Bellini in that video … wonder if that completely paid for that entire production ? Curious about a detail I noticed. Watch the tail light on the bike, it seems to be flickering in most of the cuts in which it appears……Blitz

FS ..That will almost always be the case with big screen movie productions. There is a foley artist who dubs in all the out of studio sounds, or at least enhances them. There’s far to much noise interference from all the other sounds around … there’d cover up the bike … your right though about it being some other engine … only a BeemerBoy would notice👍🏻 ……..Blitz

It flickers because LEDs are not on all the time. it actually blinks on and off but so fast our eyes can't distinguish it. However if you film it with a camera it captures pictures at a rate of 24ps (i.e. a film is also not continous, but a series of pictures as a rate of normally 24 images per second and played back at the same rate) or more and that might just capture a LED that is off and therefore it looks like it is flickering, which it acutally does...

If you film at say 60fps or 120fps and play back at 24fps the film looks slow motion.

Makes perfect sense Bob, thanks for the info … now I understand why the LED lighting in my dining room flickers every time the toasters being used. I have a digital dimmer, would it help eliminate the flicker if I went old school analog (potentiometer) style dimmer ? Answer me in PM … I wouldn’t want to pull this thread off track. ✌😎

We already had that train of thought - 5 months ago. It ended in the punted section😉

@Clarkson thanks for the link to the nineT advert, I remember that one from some time back.
But . . . the idea of this thread as I stated in the opening post is that it is for advertisements that feature another product, but have a well-placed nineT for the visual effect/vibe/appeal.
We already have past threads that feature advertisements for the nineT bikes. 👌
